Definitions
- the present invention concerns a means for recovering heat from a room space and for ventilation, said means consisting of at least two heat accumulators to which the outgoing air delivers its heat content and from which the incoming air takes heat and each of which has one end connected to the outflow duct and inflow duct of the room space, the direction of flow in these ducts being invariably the same under control by a flap.
- the drawback encumbering a means of this type known in the art is that the heat accumulators have to be disposed at a location where they communicate immediately with external air in order to ensure that the outgoing air will not in connection with the reversal of direction flow back into the room space.
- the heat accumulators have for instance been placed immediately inside the outer wall, that part of the air which is in the heat accumulator will unavoidably return to the room space in connection with reversal.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate all the drawbacks mentioned above.
- the means of the invention is characterized in that the opposite ends of the heat accumulators have been connected to the fresh air intake duct and to the outgoing exit duct, in which ducts the direction of flow is invariably the same under control by a second flap.
- the means can be mounted anywhere in the house, because the direction of flow in the fresh air intake duct and in the outgoing exit duct is always the same.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the flaps have been mutually synchronized so that the flap associated with the outflow duct and inflow duct of the room turns before the other flap, at least so much earlier as to cause the fresh incoming air to circulate a brief while in both heat accumulators and to return to the outdoor atmosphere.
- both heat accumulators will be ventilated by means of fresh air and not even the least quantity of outgoing air will return to the room. This is indispensable e.g. in hospitals or in industry where the outgoing air may contain poisonous gases.
- Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the fresh air intake duct has been connected to a heat source, for instance a solar panel.
- a heat source for instance a solar panel.
- the electronics incorporated in the equipment sense the temperature differences and automatically control the equipment to operate as desired: as a heating means or as a means for recovering heat.
- FIG. 1 presents the means, disposed within a house.
- FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 illustrate, in sectional representations, the various functions of the means.
- FIG. 5 shows a solar panel connected to the means.
- the means consists of two heat accumulators 1,2, to which the outgoing air delivers its heat and from which the incoming air draws heat.
- One end of each heat accumulator, 3,4 has been connected to the outflow duct 5 and inflow duct 6 of the room space, in which ducts the direction of flow is always the same under control by a flap 7.
- the opposite ends 8,9 of the heat accumulators 1,2 have been connected to the fresh air intake duct 10 and to the outgoing exit duct 11, where the direction of flow is always the same, under control by another flap 12.
- the arrow 13 indicates the entrance of fresh air.
- the arrow 14 indicates the outflow of warm room air
- arrow 15 indicates the outflow of air that has given off its heat.
- the arrow 16 indicates the entrance of the heated air drawn from the outside.
- the flaps 7,12 have been mutually synchronized so that the flap 7 associated with the outflow duct 5 and inflow duct 6 of the room space will turn before the other flap 12, at least so much earlier that the fresh air will circulate, as shown by the arrow 17, during a brief moment through both heat accumulators 1,2 and return to the outside atmosphere.
- the apparatus will be aired, and nothing of the air outflowing from the room space will return to the room.
- the fresh air inflow duct 18 has been connected to a solar panel 19 on the roof of the house.
- the electronics incorporated in the apparatus automatically switch the means to operate as a heating means.
- the apparatus automatically becomes a means for recovery of heat from the room air.
